"That's how it is."
Manager Wu came in from outside, wiping his sweat while telling.
"The news that our businessmen in Chang'an Prefecture heard, Huangshadao gentleman test, Chang'an Prefecture candidates were in a big light..."
"...full marks in the court of etiquette..."
"...Leke also has a lot of high scores... The most amazing one is of course Young Master Qingzi... He is in Leke..."
When Manager Wu said this, Guo Baoer, who was sitting next to Mrs. Guo, shouted: "Ah, don't talk." He reached out to cover his face again.
Mrs. Guo reached out and took her and patted her. Guo Huaichun glared at her, covered her face and covered her mouth! She couldn't even laugh!
Manager Wu said: "Miss, you haven't arrived yet... Young Master Qingzi first shocked the four seats with a song of Lanling King entering the formation... Then..." He smiled at Guo Baoer.
Guo Baoer shouted again and buried her head on Mrs. Guo’s shoulders. Guo Huaichun rolled her eyes and urged: “Tell me quickly.”
"Young Master Qingzi." Manager Wu said, while swaying his sleeves, probably learning the actions of the narrator outside, with his voice raised and his expression excited. "In the next chess skills, he will fight with Xiliang Prince Suo Shengxuan for 400 rounds! He used the chess game to force Xiliang Prince to vomit blood and admit defeat!"
Guo Huaichun got goosebumps.
For some reason, why does it feel like I'm here in person when I hear a description? Why does this kid always do something like this...a big scene?
Guo Baoer didn't feel this way, so she just said, "Let's talk behind you." He reached out and covered his face.
Manager Wu said: "Young Master Qingzi won the full mark in Le Ke in one fell swoop." He sighed softly, "Of course, Young Master Qingzi also vomited blood after winning... Therefore, two people were hurt in the battle of the eternal strange game, and the gentleman tried to delay it for three days."
Guo Baoer sat upright and said, "You said you missed it. He shouted when he vomited blood... for me."
Guo Huaichun looked at her, as if speechless.
Manager Wu laughed and said, "Although I didn't say that, the meaning is similar. Many people asked Young Master Qingzi why he worked so hard and wanted to win the first place even if he hurt his body... The candidates in Chang'an Prefecture said that Young Master Qingzi once promised to win the top scorer and marry Miss Guo, and a man was worth a thousand gold medals in one word."
Guo Baoer said unhappily: "What you said is not good at all." He turned to look at Mrs. Guo and shook her arm, "Mom, he just likes me and wants to marry me, so he is so desperate. He said in front of so many people... What should I do?"
Mrs. Guo nodded and said, "Yes, my son, if you don't agree, you will seem to be heartless." She stroked her head.
Guo Baoer said, "That's right." He grinned again, "He's so bad." He said, "I haven't told Liu Wuer yet..."
Guo Huaichun said: "Sit down!"
Of course, Guo Baoer didn't sit down, and called out to Dad, laughing: "Dad, what do you think?"
Guo Huaichun looked at her and said, "I think...you're happy."
However, the focus of this news was that she vomited blood. She reached out to calculate on her sleeve. The letter she received was before Le Ke. So, was something happened before Le Ke after writing the letter?
Such an exaggerated thing as vomiting blood in public must be to cover up something for this cunning guy. She is not the kind of person who works hard for irrelevant people.
What is the good or bad luck?
Guo Huaichun frowned and said to Manager Wu: "Go and ask for more information."
......
......
"I don't know how the final result is."
The straw shed at the foot of Liudaoquan Mountain is as before, with wooden plaques hanging on the door of Zhizhitang. The interior is clean and clean, with tea table floor mats and wild flowers blooming in the window sill. A group of young men sat in groups and looked at Zhang Liantang standing among them.
"Xue Qing got full marks in the ceremony test, and everyone read his letter."
"Now Leke's results have also been heard. Xue Qing won the Prince of Xiliang with the Lanling King entering the game and the chess game, and won a more important victory than the full score."
The young people present nodded.
"I did a great job!" Chu Minghui clenched his fists and said with an excited expression, "It's so great. Such a counterattack is the way for a gentleman."
"I used to feel unfair, but I was not as good as Xue Qing when I gave in to the inn... What are the people in our Zhizhitang afraid of?"
"It seems that Xue Qing is right now. It is better to endure the momentary anger than to argue with verbal disputes."
Xue Qing wrote letters to tell her about things along the way, such as when he met a wealthy man at the post station, he deliberately made them tired by catching a house, and of course some were concealed. For example, after learning that these people deliberately, she gave people laxatives... This kind of ungenital thing is just told Zhang Liantang. Anyway, he knew his ungenital side and his image didn't matter.
The teenagers in Zhizhitang learned about this matter and had different opinions. Zhang Liantang asked everyone to argue for several days. When Xue Qing wrote another letter, he informed him of the latest progress.
Everyone was very excited about meeting their enemies, and they were even more excited about not losing in front of their enemies. At this time, the previous indifference was wiped out, as if they had accumulated a sense of heroism in person.
Chu Minghui beat his legs repeatedly: "I regret it, I really should have participated in the gentleman exam, it's so exciting." Others also agreed.
Zhang Liantang raised his hand and signaled everyone to quiet: "Everyone is also a gentleman test like Xue Qing, but we should be slower. Xue Qing's exam has ended, and we will have to welcome a Taoist test. After the Taoist test is over, everyone will gather in the capital."
The test is really nervous and exciting.
Chu Minghui took a deep breath: "Before entering Zhizhitang, I never thought I could pass the mansion test, and now I have to go and try it out..."
"Yes, yes." Many people were a little nervous.
Zhang Liantang smiled and said, "Everything is just a try and fight, just like Xue Qing. Now the final result has come out, but the news has not yet arrived. But just by his courting and music, he can see his determination. He will not give up in a single subject and try his best. This means that without accumulating small steps, he will not be able to reach a thousand miles; without accumulating small streams, he will not be able to make a river and sea. A horse can not leap for ten steps, a horse can do ten horses, and his achievements are unwilling to give up... We all encourage each other." We clenched our fists.
The young men present responded in unison and waved their fists.
"Then start learning."
"Everyone takes care of each other and can't let one fall behind."
Zhang Liantang said that he also sat down and picked up the book.
Chu Minghui lowered his head and suddenly raised his head: "Brother Liantang, who do you think Xue Qing can get the first place?"
This is the answer that everyone is looking forward to. I just regret that the journey is long and I can't know it in time. The teenagers all looked at Zhang Liantang.
Zhang Liantang sat cross-legged in front of the desk, holding a book, and smiled slightly: "He said the top of the list. If he can't get it, don't blame us for laughing at him when he comes back."
The boys laughed.
The laughter floated out through the open doors and windows, and scattered with the autumn wind in the mountains. Not far away, a young man walked slowly down on the mountain path with a bundle of firewood on his back. He heard the laughter here and turned to look over. His face was handsome, and his clothes were clean and clean. He still held a book in his hand. He only looked at it and continued to keep walking, and his low chanting was still chanting.
"Young Master Leting, look at the road."
The idle man at the Sanzhang Station at the foot of the mountain smiled and said, with a bit of evil spirits... The title of young master is normal for others, but it is not very friendly for those who are not young masters.
Leting is used to it, but doesn't care.
"Leting, it's worth going to school. You can also pick up firewood by the way. We don't let you go up the mountain..."
"It's only half a day to go up the mountain every day. I think you are actually trying to get firewood."
The people on the street were talking and laughing, and Leting smiled at them and walked past the street.
"...I don't know what he is looking for. He can't study and cannot take the imperial examination... It will take seven or eight years. It's not good to do something for such a long time."
"...It's not certain whether he can pass the exam in seven or eight years... I heard from the teacher in the society that he can't study at all."
The conversation behind him continued, and he forgot the book he recited slightly. Le Ting laughed at himself, couldn't read it well, and he didn't even have a memory as good as others? But it was nothing, just memorizing it more. He looked down at the book in his hand, and when he flipped it, a letter fell. It was the letter from Xue Qing sent by the little maid of the Zhang family guarding the door just dawn.
He leaned over and picked it up, his mouth slightly raised, this time the letter was full of complaints against the boy in the exam.
"I didn't want to take the exam at first... but why can't I control myself after I get on the court... I want face..."
"It's really like there are people outside of people and there are mountains outside of mountains... I regret not studying hard in Chang'an Mansion..."
"...The people of Xiliang are really crazy..."
"...There is no choice, and I don't want to do the next subject. Let's do this subject now..."
Yes, if you want to do something so far, just do it well this year first. This year, I have to finish reading this book and Leting puts the letter into the book.
There are many cars, horses and pedestrians on the road at noon.
"Have you heard that? That Xue Qing, Young Master Qingzi, and the gentleman beat Prince Xiliang in the trial, making everyone vomit blood."
"So awesome?"
"Of course, Young Master Qingzi, but our Chang'an Prefecture and County test will be the top scorer in the future."
A month later, as before, Young Master Xue Qing became the topic of conversation for Chang'an Mansion people after dinner. Leting smiled slightly, but Xue Qing was not the young master mentioned by everyone before... He lowered his head and silently recited the book scroll and walked step by step along the winding road.
News from Huangsha Road scattered, and the capital received the news earlier than in all places. However, the adults in the capital did not care about Xue Qing, the outstanding young man who forced the prince of Xiliang to vomit blood, nor did he care about the gentleman's test results.
The palace in autumn became more solemn, with official robes flying on the road, and heavy official boots trembling on the ground.
The noisy sounds came from the towering palace, which was even more lively than the grand court meeting, making the little emperor sitting on the dragon throne wide open his eyes and unable to doze off.
It was the first time he heard about it. It sounded scary.
“...How could the earth move..."
"...Let's get the news clearer..."
"...How exactly does the Queen's Mausoleum collapse..."
"...This is a punishment of heaven..."
"...Mr. Huang, pay attention to your words!"
"How much has happened since the gentleman's trial started? Lord Song was assassinated..."
"What's so strange about Lord Song being assassinated... It has nothing to do with the Queen's Mausoleum, otherwise the Queen's Mausoleum would have collapsed countless times."
The palace gates were constantly closed, and officials gathered to come. The collapse of the Queen's Tomb cannot be concealed. All personnel from all sides of Huangsha Road reported to the capital through various channels. The earth was moved because it has always been given meaning, regardless of death or injury, and the Queen's Tomb collapsed, which was the heavy burden that the emperor and the entire court could not bear.
There must be an explanation. There was a dispute and quarrel in the court, and of course they had their own thoughts.
Compared to the noise of the main hall of the court, Qin Tan Gong's duty room was as quiet as a place where no one was in the world. Qin Tan Gong was not in the court, not that no one informed him, but that he did not go.
He sat in the duty room and read a stack of urgent reports. Seven or eight officials sat in the surrounding area, with a deep expression and quiet expression.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a little eunuch pushed the door in and bowed to him, "Zhao Ye Wang means to thoroughly investigate the queen's tomb."
The officials present suddenly frowned and angry.
"Master, this old thief really wants to take the opportunity to cause trouble."
"We must deal with the Lord with the wrath of heavenly punishment."
"If we want to thoroughly investigate, the traces of the excavation of the Queen's Mausoleum will inevitably be exposed, which will be troublesome."
Qin Tan said justice: "Don't be anxious." Put down the document book in his hand, "Secret Wang was confused for a moment." He looked at one of the officials, "Jingran, go and tell Mr. Wang, I think what Mr. Chen said makes sense. After all, we were not on the scene, and Mr. Chen saw it with his own eyes." He smiled, "Why would you please let me write a letter to Mr. Chen to ask for details before discussing it. I believe Mr. Chen is happy to talk to me."
One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. There can only be one Chinese civil officials in the court, and one of them is the only one who can dominate the military. The military generals of Qin Tan Gong held military power. The battle between civil officials has been between Chen Sheng and Wang Lieyang.
When Qin Tan Gong was able to help Wang Lieyang squeeze out Chen Sheng, of course he could also make another choice.
......
......
“It’s not right now.”
Wang Lieyang sighed.
He was surrounded by officials, and he was also angry when he heard this.
"This thief is a threat, and the earth is unquestionable. I'm afraid of them!"
"Prince, this opportunity is rare. The gentleman's attempt was proposed by Duke Tan of Qin... and Empress's Tomb has always been a black armor guard and an imperial guard. This time, Song and Yuan dynasties were present. Song and Yuan dynasties are notorious..."
The officials looked forward to looking at Wang Lieyang.
"This is really a good time to defeat Qin Tan Gong. Even if you can't get rid of him, you'll cut off a bunch of his right-hand men."
Wang Lieyang shook his head: "You young people are so energetic." He knocked on the table, "No matter how arrogant Qin Tan Gong is, he is a military general and a relative of the outside world, and he can't command the princes, but Chen Sheng is different." He swept over everyone meaningfully.
That's a civil servant.
If Duke Tan of Qin wants to overthrow him, the world is not convinced, but if a civil official defeats another civil official, and the qualifications of this civil official are not lower than that of him, it will be easy to convince the public.
"What else does Chen Sheng have?" An official frowned and dissatisfied.
Wang Lieyang looked peaceful and said, "He is not dead yet, he still has students, he still has this opportunity." He smiled again, "Who thought that this would happen to Huangsha Road. The earth was moving, and the Queen's Tomb collapsed..." He stopped here, with a thoughtful expression.
Who thought this would happen on Huangsha Road?
What if Chen Sheng thought of it?
This is wrong...
Wang Lieyang sat upright and said, "Is there anything wrong with this yellow sand path that we don't know?"
......
......
"elder brother."
Empress Dowager Qin walked in quickly, and the officials in the room quickly stood up to salute, while Empress Dowager Qin waved his hand without caring about them.
Everyone bowed and retreated.
"Brother, were those people doing it? How about the jade seal?" she asked in a stack of voices.
Qin Tan said justice: "It should be done by those people. As for whether they succeed or not, I don't know yet."
"I just said this is not OK. This is clearly giving them a chance." Empress Dowager Qin said angrily, "Look at what's going on now, it's true."
Qin Tan said justice: "Not necessarily. Duan Shan said that the front and back of the underground palace were still closed, and maybe someone tried to break in and collapsed."
Empress Dowager Qin said: "Others try to break in and lose, but if... Emperor Baozhang..."
Qin Tan Gong smiled slightly: "So this is not very good, it just happens to be sure whether our little princess has appeared."
Empress Dowager Qin was puzzled: "How to confirm?"
Qin Tan said righteously: "Open the underground palace and open the queen's coffin."
Empress Dowager Qin reached out to cover her mouth, looked around and whispered: "Brother, how to open it? We must open the underground palace to undoubtedly turn the yellow sand path over. Such a big noise cannot avoid the ears and ears of so many people."
Qin Tan said justice: "It's already so big, and it's just enough to cover it up with even bigger movements." He put together the books in his hand, "The gentleman tried to try the saints to gather together, Your Majesty's filial piety and wise government moved the heavens and earth, the heavens dispel evil spirits, the yellow sand road returned to Qingming, the empress and Princess Baozhang's coffin returned to the imperial tomb." He stood up and smiled, "Then let's open the underground palace under the attention of the world."
.....
.....
The yellow sand road at the end of July was clear and the cold brought by an autumn rain yesterday was dispelled by the scorching sun.
The rumbling sound came from a distance, like thunder rolling, and the ground was shaking, but the people on the street were not panicked, but were just a little stunned.
"Have you started to invite the Queen's coffin?"
"Today, the gentleman's trial ends the worship and begins."
Everyone was talking and looking out of the city.
The feeling of vibration in standing in the Queen's Mausoleum was even stronger. The candidates who took the gentleman exam were dressed in dresses and worshiped as they were at the beginning. However, unlike in the beginning of July, the once towering garden hill in front had disappeared. At this time, hundreds of craftsmen were fighting on it, and there were huge tools for digging wells and digging canals farther away.
"I still remember this was the case when the underground palace was built. The mounds of sand transported were like mountains..." The official murmured.
As the top of the list, Xue Qing, who stood in the forefront, heard his words and raised his head. It was reasonable when building, and it was reasonable when digging and destroying.
The ritual officer retracted his gaze and looked at the candidates lined up and shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
